Unbeaten in three starts over the larger obstacles, BATTLEOVERDOYEN can continue his progression here at the expense of popular veteran Faugheen. The Gordon Elliott-trained seven-year-old won the Grade 2 Florida Pearl novice chase at Punchestown before a victory over 3m in the Grade 1 Neville hotels novice chase at this venue over Christmas. Faugheen has shown brilliance in both of his chase starts so far including a facile win in a Grade 1 novice contest at Limerick over Christmas. Another of the Willie Mullins four declared in the race, Easy Game should not be underestimated and can collect a minor honour here.
